RE: Making A Change - Weekend Experiences #163

I think it was around my early teens when they found out she was bipolar not long after my grandmother died, she totally derailed and so it came to light. But all the years before, she was "only" drinking while in fact, this was probably not adding to make her feel better and be stable without medication as she wasn't diagnosed yet.

Sorry to read you never really recovered from them dying, I guess you had a great bond with them because I see the difference with my boyfriend losing his parents and the impact it made compared to my own loss. Although it does stir up some memories and I'm sure the big punch will come later even though we weren't living close to each other for years.

I guess in a way, I'm lucky that I will probably not have that huge burden of never recovering from it. Every downside has an upside, doesn't it?

I'm doing my best, she's a challenge sometimes though lol. But at least I'm very aware of the mistakes made in the past when handling her issues. At least it was good for something :)
